New Expenses

Recurring expenses create drafts to confirm

Set up an expense that repeats, and Magpie creates a draft each time it falls due.

Expenses has a Recurring page for expenses that repeat weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. When a date arrives, Magpie creates a draft expense from the rule. A draft is not counted in lists, totals, reports, exports or invoices until you confirm it; you can change its amount first, or discard it.

A monthly rule keeps the day it started on and falls on the last day of a shorter month. Drafts are created when someone opens Expenses, and up to 12 are created at a time for a rule that has been behind. The page shows an estimated monthly total for each currency. Amount, frequency and next date can be edited in place, and a rule can be paused or deleted.
